Lottery Picks Coming into Focus for the 2024 NHL Draft

With the season coming to an end soon, the focus will now shift to the upcoming 2024 NHL Entry Draft for those fan bases that cheer for teams currently at the bottom of the standings. At present the bottom 11 teams look this:

31. Chicago

30. Anaheim

29. Columbus

28. Arizona

27. Montreal

26. Ottawa

25. Calgary

24. Buffalo

23. Seattle

22. Pittsburgh
